This was another junk watch that I rescued. New battery, clean the case, and a light polish of the crystal is all she needed. It had a stretch band on it, but I hate those. Any suggestions on a strap? Maybe a brown leather? Not seeing many pics of these with different straps on them.

I would go wit black leather, I think it would match up better with the hands and numerals.

Good point. I'm trying to figure out what grain would look best. Glossy? Matte? I may get a few to rotate with it.

First of all, very nice and great job on the restoration.

As for strap options, I agree that black works for this piece. I am not sure about the style though. I think you need to try a few options to see what looks best (to your eyes!).

I generally like brown straps with gold cases but you have to see how it works with the black hands and numerals.

Mmhhh, the dark brown looks pretty good actually! (Image at the bottom)

Nice job- very cool watch! I think a very deep brown matte strap would look great!

I put this strap on an old Chrono I picked up off of eBay and had restored. May be too light for that piece. But brown does look good with a gold toned case. Hirsch strap I believe.
